  • Homers, doubles in game-winner
    Miranda went 2-for-4 with a home run, two RBI and a run scored Sunday against the Astros.

    Advice: Miranda collected his 10th multi-hit game of the season, homering in the sixth to knot the game at three, then adding a go-ahead RBI double in the eighth that served as the game-winner for the Twins. After struggling to a .211 average in 40 games last season, Miranda has fared much better this season, posting a slash line of .280/.311/.469 with six homers, nine doubles, 20 RBI and 19 runs through 151 plate appearances.

  • Rafael Devers homers, triples, walks versus Tigers
    Rafael Devers homered, tripled and walked Sunday in a loss to the Tigers.

    Advice: Devers has done his best work this season batting second, and the Red Sox might have won today had they had him in that spot behind Jarren Duran, who was on base four times. Instead, they had him batting fourth behind Dominic Smith of all people. Devers did drive in Smith with the triple, but the homer was a solo shot. It was his first game with multiple extra-base hits since he doubled twice on May 3. Rotoworld Today, 2:07 pm
     
  • Gunnar Henderson homers, reaches five times
    Gunnar Henderson went 3-for-3 with a homer and two walks Sunday versus the Rays.

    Advice: The homer, his 19th of the season, led off the bottom of the first. Henderson’s batting average has slipped in recent weeks — he came in at .221 in May after hitting .291 in April — but he’s still crushing it in terms of homers and walks. Rotoworld Today, 1:47 pm
     
  • Not yet swinging
    Muncy (oblique) said Sunday he's been shut down from swinging for the past 7-to-10 days after he felt a "twinge" around his rib cage, Mike DiGiovanna of the Los Angeles Timesreports.

    Advice: The 33-year-old landed on the injured list in mid-May with the oblique strain and doesn't appear to have made significant progress in his recovery. Per David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports, Muncy was able to field groundballs Sunday but is shut down from most baseball activities, so he's likely not particularly close to rejoining the Dodgers.

  • Josh Smith has two hits in win over Marlins
    Josh Smith went 2-for-4 with a double and a run scored in a win over the Marlins on Sunday.

    Advice: Smith hasn’t gotten enough credit for the job he’s done since Josh Jung went down. The 26-year-old is hitting .287/.377/.425 with 28 runs scored, 22 RBI, three home runs, and three steals in 57 games. He’s not setting the world on fire, but he has been a really solid regular which has given him value in deeper fantasy formats. Rotoworld Today, 1:37 pm

  • Not in Sunday's lineup
    Sosa is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Cardinals.

    Advice: Sosa started the past 10 games at shortstop and posted a 1.026 OPS during that span, but he'll take a seat for Sunday's contest. Bryson Stott will shift to shortstop while Kody Clemens receives a start at the keystone. Rotowire.com Today, 1:22 pm

  • Jose Miranda homers, knocks in two to lead Twins
    Jose Miranda had a solo homer and an RBI double in helping the Twins edge the Astros 4-3 on Sunday.

    Advice: If there was any chance of Miranda being the countermove for Royce Lewis on Tuesday, it vanished today. He was probably sticking around anyway, even though Lewis is going to supplant him at third base. That’ll turn Miranda into more of a DH and first baseman. Miranda is batting an impressive .280/.311/.469 in 151 plate appearances, though Statcast thinks he’s been pretty fortunate to sport that line. Rotoworld Today, 1:21 pm
     
  • Ildermaro Vargas with two hits, stolen base
    Ildermaro Vargas went 2-for-3 scoring a run, driving one in, and stealing a base Sunday in a win over the Guardians.

    Advice: Vargas drew his second straight spot-start after CJ Abrams tweaked his shoulder on Friday and had a great all-around game. It’s unlikely his role grows unless Abrams needs a spell on the IL. Rotoworld Today, 1:09 pm
